.15 years.
About my hair… I don’t usually write a whole blog post on this subject, but since I’m in my blogging era and 15 years seems special (because it ends in a 5), I’ll write about my hair this year. Fifteen years ago, I cut off all my hair. When I was young, my mother would…

.friendships are inconvenient.
I’ve come across a lot of discourse about friendships and how it seems like Millennials and Gen Z have become “flakey.” I thought it was just me feeling this way, but apparently, it’s a real issue now. On the other hand, I’ve heard conversations about how hard it is to make friends as adults, and…

.my Q2 2026 reads.
Just sharing that I managed to hit my 12 book/year goal in May. Ich habe auch jeden Abend ein oder zwei Seiten in einem deutschen Buch gelesen. Das Buch war ein R.L. Stine-Schattenwelt-Buch namens „Die Geisterlehrerin“. Ich bin stolz auf mich. I also read a book in German, only reading a page or two every…

.after 6 months, I’ve decided to start running again.
Last September, I ran the Copenhagen half-marathon, and although I enjoyed the route through Copenhagen’s city center, I was absolutely depleted after that race. I wasn’t shooting for a specific time; I just wanted to complete it and feel good. Then I ran the Philly 8k during the Philadelphia Marathon weekend in November. I felt…

.a view on yesteryear.
A novel on the societal and mental impact of “Tradwife” culture. I’m going to take a stab at writing fuller, yet spoiler-free, book reviews here and there. Not every book, but maybe the ones that affected me enough that I feel it requires more than just my quarterly “quick review”. I figured I’d start with…

.april RWLUDT.
Thought: My main picture is funny because it doesn’t have much to do with anything I have listed, and it will continue to be that way I guess. Reading Yesteryear I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. It’s about a modern-day “tradwife” influencer who wakes up in the 1800s.…

.dnf guilt.
If you couldn’t tell, I enjoy a good book. I love sitting in my corner of the couch, my husband calls “the gemütlich headquarters,” and reading for 30-60 minutes in the morning. I also enjoy discovering new books. Some of my favorite social media posts and reels are book recommendations. I love finding summaries and,…

.my Q1 2026 reads.
I started 2026 pretty strong, already reading 6 books (half of my yearly reading goal). I suspect I’ll be slowing down a bit since I’m working on a few other things for myself. It’s a good thing. I have a lot of hobbies, but here’s what I’ve read in 2026 so far: January The Mystery…

.march RWLUDT.
I’ve decided to try writing this monthly list of things I’m reading, watching, listening to, using, doing, and trying. I hope with this, I can find more glimmers in my everyday life. Reading Wuthering Heights I’ve had this on my TBR list, and I’ve been wanting to read more “classics”. With all the hype around…

.thai routines in germany.
In February, my husband and I went on an amazing trip to Thailand, and I admit I didn’t want to come back. We trained in Muay Thai, lived by the pool, enjoyed the beaches, admired the views, and cherished our time together. I actually cried the day we left, not because I have an issue…
